AraithfuI wife,s Devotion,

On Thursday last Fritz Hass and his
wife were in Shell Lake, Wis, doing
some trading, and about 2 o'clock in the
afternoon started for home. The aged
couple had walked to town in the morn
ing, and they felt equal to the task of
walking back again, distance OF five
miles. 1t vas bitter cold day, and rs
they advanced the wind began to blow.
Before half Of their journey had been
accomplished they were wrapped in a
binding snow-storm and their pro-
oress became slow and difficult. Soon
Mr.. Hass sank down in the snow,
thoroughly exhausted and unable TO
proceed. His frantic wife tried in vain
10 urge him on. But she was compelled
TO leave him and seek aid at the nearest
house. When she arrived at the home
She sought she found woman alone.
IL was now about 10 o'clock at night,
Int taking blankets the two women
started back to succor Mr.. Haas. He
YVES unconscious when they reached
him. and with difficulty they succeeded
in getting him . few rods further TO-
wards shelter. But Hass was large,
feshy man, and the women were com.
PEELED to abandon their efforts in hi:
behalf. Wrspping her exhausted hus-
hand in blankets and giving him some
nourishment, bis wife sat down beside
linn while her kind assistant started fol
home. Mrs. Hass remained with hel
husband until he died-about O'Clock
in the morning. When help arrived al
the scene the unfortunate couple were
taken home, one nearly as lifeless as the
other. Mr.. Hass was nearly seventy
Years of age, and his faithful wife q

President Bartlett Gets letter and
Fears the Usual Spring Outbreaks.

Fears the Usual Spring Out6renk.
4 special dispatch from Hanover, \.
r.. saws: The dissatisfaction of the
students Of Dartmouth College over the
new rules recently adopted blythe facul-
tv found an outlet to-day in a printed
circular-letter to President Bartlett.
The venerable head of the institution
was supposed to be the moving spiritin
the changes, and the letter was adj
dressed to him. The circular is headed,
in big type, "Letters from Hell, and
begins my Dear Servant" bearing
the signature "Satanus Diabolus. =" In
the course of the letter it says that the
satanic writer has kept watch on the
president, and is pleased that he IS
fHrthering his plans. 1t refers to the
marrow religious atmosphere OF the col
!ege, and mentions a number OF in-
stances where the head of the institu-
ton has done things displeasing to the
student body.
The printed letterswere neatly folded
into the hymn-books, and were first dis
covered at morning chapel. The great
] lille on the presidents desk was stuck
full of them, and on opening the book
Ut the beginning OF the services thsir
presence first became known to the
faculty. President Bartlett was greatly
agltated and said that he apprehended
that this would begin an outbreak
among the students. He has been
,ongratulating himself that the present
winter term is the first one for years
tlat has not been marked by trouble
in the college. On previous years
1he chapel has been decorated
with tradesmen's signs and the seats
in the recitation-rooms CREASED or
painted and the stoves removed on cold
mornings. Two old feld-pieces have
heretofore figured in the demonstra-
tons. Every year they have been
dragged from the neighboring town
and fired on the campus at midnight.
Next day the faculty hire team and
drag the cannon back, and the follow
ing night they have been in the habit
of making their appearance in tho
chapel in front of the pulpit The print
ed letter OF this morning gives signs OF
the same old restless spirit in the col
lcge, and President Bartlett is looki lg
for a repetition of the old-time froics.

TEN DAYS WITHOUT FOOD.
The Accidental Fast OF a Chinese

The Hong Kong China Mail says
While the discharge OF the steamship

this forenoon an extraordinary discov-

derneath the hollow of the lower beam

The coolie was taken on deck, and with

impression of what occurred to him

The Interstate Commerce Dill,

10 the Editor Of the Dispatch:
There is disposition in certain quar-
tiers to attach much Importance to the
Interstate commerce bill as measure
which will afford relief TO the Virginia
farner and better his condition. Before
umping to such q conclusion, or har-
i'oring hopes that may never be real
.zcd, it may be well TO consider the
uhiect in all its phases, and to that end
the following views are presented:
/. The bill does not attempt to create
any values or add in any way to the
general wealth Of the country. Any
cain the Virginia farmer makes will be
% much less to the railroads in dimin-
shed freights, or to the inhabitants OF
citios and villages, and manufacturers
OF al classes, i'll the enhanced price oil
supplies.
>. The interest of railroads and the
country they traverse is identical. Any
legislation which cripples or impGirs
ihe efficiency of railroads is injurious
to the section through which they pass.
3. Statistics show that the chief re-
lance of railways is upon local instead
Of through freight and travel.
1. There are large areas OF country
in Virginia where the farmer could
not profitably raise grain for market il
the railroads carried it for nothing in
stead OF at present prices.
Cheap grain from the West vii
build up our manufactures and cities,
and give us a monopoly Of the supply
of bulking and perishable articles, such
as cannot be transported over long dis
tances. This, at least, is one way by
which we may be relieved from the
great bugbear of western competition
and has the advantage Of helping oul
neighbors instead of pulling then
down. Y.

1rcst vir,rnia-New Point.

JAMES NJ. Mason, of West Virginia,
well-known TO the members of the last
Virginia Legislature as the lobbyist
who. two or three years ago, tried to
induce our Legislature to bull West
Virginia certificates, is one of the lead
6rs of the small minority of Democrats
in West Virginia who have refused to
vote or work for the reelection of Mr.:
CAMDEN to the United States Senate.
He has for years kept up an unrelent-
ing war upon Mr.. CAMDEN and some
others of the leaders of the Democratic
party in West Virginia, and no Doubt
exults over his success in inducing a few
Democrats in the Legislature to refuse
to support CAMDEN. Mr.. Mason him
self is not member of the Legisla-
ture.
However, CAMDEN is defeated-at
least temporarily-and the head of the
boilers is to be appointed to take CAM
pEN's seat in the United States Senate.
But he may never take that seat be-
cause unless there is an extra session of
Congress the Senate of the Fiftieth Con
press will not convene until next Decem-
Der, previous to which time an extra SEES
sion of the West Virginia Legislature will
have been held and somebody else than
MIR. Lucas been elected to the United
States Senate. 1t will be impossible
for him to be elected by the present
Legislature, unless, indeed-what will
never happen-the Republicans should
combine with the boilers to secure his
election. This, we repeat, they will
not do. There is much more likelihood
that they would combine with the sup
porters of the regular nominee.
In this extremity, what does Mr..
Mason do but concoct a scheme by
which the Legislature of West Virginia
may abdicate its functions, prevent by
sharp practice the election of United
States senator, and thus insure Mr..
LUCAS at least one session in the United
States Senate. Inasmuch as the Fed0-
raj statute which governs the election
provides that in case of a vacancy a
United States senator must be elected
ON the second Tuesday after the meet
ing of State Legislature, Mr.. MASON
proposes that there shall be no second
Tuesday during the session. In other
words, no proposes that Governor
wnsos shall call the Legislature to
meet on say Wednesday, and that that
body shall pass the needed appropria-
lion bills and adjourn before the second
Tuesday afterwards shall arrive In
other words, il the Legislature adjourns
before the second Tuesday arrives then
there would have been no opportunity
for an election, and when the Legisla-
ture has again adjourned the Governor
would appoint CANDgx's successor,
who, IL the Senate takes this view,
would hold his scat until January,
1889.
But the Senate viii not take that
view. II viii never have chance TO
take it. II the Legislature Of West

Malone and the Debt

Those persons who have 50 indus
triously tried to create the impression
that General MALONE would this year
abandon the RmDLEBERGER bill, and
rally his forces in aid of settlement
of the public debt TO be satisfactory to
the bondholders must have been lit
tie surprised when they read in the
Dispatch of yesterday the card of ex-
Auditor DYsox, announcing that he
is candidate for the State Senate, and
that he is personally Repudiationist.
We quote all that Mr.. Dyson says on
the debt question--as follows
"Suflice it to say that am and ever
have been Republican /; never was
and never will be Democrat. Upon
the State-debt question l am personally
Repudiationist, but ain willing to
abide by the action of my party on that
question"
Now we do not wish to be understood
as intimating that Mr.. Dyson would al
low General MALONE TO influence him
in his course towards the public debt.
We cite Mr.. DYsoN's language as show
ing that il General MALONE intends to
repudiate the RIDDLEBERGER bill he has
either not made known the fact to all
the Republican leaders, or else has
failed to secure their cooperation. 1t
would be no easy matter to induce the
white Republicans of Virginia thus
to take the back track, however
sequacious the negro voters might
prove. The taxpayers feel that the
twenty millions proposed to be paid by
the RIDDLRDERGER bill is abouta as heavy
burthen as they can bear, and are not
at all inclined to assume heavier one.
To pay for fifty years $500, 600 interest
on thirty millions of debt is to pay
forty-fye millions of interest and
then at the end of the period pay
the thirty millions also. This, as
we have often explained, would
he tolerable if the bonds were owned
at home but to contract deliberately
to send tins vast sum of money beyond
the limits of the Commonwealth, never
TO return, is well calculated to "give
us pause" II is this consideration
that hedges our Legislators about with
difficulties and leaves them SO little dis
cretion in The matter. 1t is this con-
sideration that differentiates the case of
Virginia from that of State owing
money to its own citizens. 1t is this
consideration that makes the people Of
Virginia keep so close watch upon
their public servants whenever these
undertake t. touch the RIDDLEBERGEa

Emperor Williams Speech.

The speech of Emperor WILLIAM in
opening the rev Reichstag gives evil
dence that the declaration of the Gov
eminent that the Septennate was pro-
posed as n peace measure was made in
good faith. he says, in effect, that the
victory of the Government in the late
elections was a victory for peace. How
ever, it would appear that he regards
the Septennate as but the beginning OF
q permanent increase of the German
military establishment, seeing that
he calls upon the Reichstag to give
unanimous expression to resolve that
the nation will put forth its full strength,
in full panoply, now and at all times
against attacks upon the German from
tiers. In other words, if future gene
rations of Germans are not to be COM
PEELED, as have been all past genera
tons, to draw the sword against France,

In an editorial in yesterdays issue
that journal 1.-THE Dispatchl first un-
dertskes to demonstrate that the Con
stitution of Virginia does not permit
such exemption from taxation, as is
proposed in Mr.. Smiths ordinance, to
be granted, and then declares its oppo-
sition to the policy of such exemptions.
Mder-AppedL
And we not only referred to the
opinion of our City Attorney in sup
port of our contention, but did
"demonstrate," so we thought, that
the Constitution of Virginia does not
allow city councils to make any ex-
emptions whatever other than those
made by the Legislature, which body
alone is authorized to exempt any pro-
perty, real or personal, from taxation.
And Notwithstanding the ill-natured
reply of our Petersburg contemporary,
we will add that we wrote our article
in the expectation not only that it
would be courteously received by him,
but possibly so answered as to show
that our City Attorney had not con-
sidercd all that was to be said on the
side Of exemption, and that We had
not demonstrated the proposition
which we had laid down.

.swc Iike Him for the Enemies He
Has Made"


The louisville Coss,Ter-.joarna', or
can of the great Kentucky Bourbon
v hiskey Fling. whose cause Messrs.
Morrison and Carlisle have ever been
re ady to champion, says
"if the tobacco-tax is ever to be re-
pealcd let it never be done at the in
stance Of the Philadelphia plug-ugly."
We know that the C0Urir-jo0rndl
does not want the tobacco-tax repealed,
and that Mr.. Randall does. But we do
not see why that difference OF opinion
on question of public policy should
prompt Mr.. Watterson to shgmatlze
Mr.. Randall as "a plug-ugly." Mr.:
Randall may have his faults; and
one of the greatest, we doubt
not, in the eyes of Mr.. Wat
terson is the effective part be acted
two years or more ago in defeat
ing the famous whiskey ring that,
while insisting, for purposes OF mo-
nopoly, upon retaining the tax, desired
10 keep theirimmense stores in bonded
warehouses. to evade present payment
of the same. For the two years or more
that the Kentucky Bourbon had been
wing in bond, without paying the tax
awaiting a demand that would call it
from its hiding-place-the Virginia man
ufacturers OF whiskey and tobacco were
having their taxes on sales regularly.
his the monopolists were notwilling to
90 but had the temerity to come before
Congress and ask for an extension of
the term in which they should enjoy
immunity from taxation that they want
ed all the small dealers to pay straight
along. Mr.. Watterson was kept in
Washington for weeks, with a small
army of retainers, engaged in lobbying
for their fayorite scheme; while Messrs.
Morrison, Carlisle, Blackburn, and
others of the great whiskey ring, were
working inside the halls of Congress to
secure special legislation in favor OF
monopoly.
Then il was that Sam. Randall mar
shalled the forces that defeated Waiter
son. Morrison, Carlisle SCo. We were
in the gallery of the House when the
vote was taken that decapitated their
bill, by "striking out the enacting
clause" and rejoiced with the large ma
| jority in the galleries and on the floor
| of the House that witnessed that signal
overthrow of the monopolists.
Mr.. Watterson will never forgive
Randall for the part he took in that
matter; but Virginia, that gave only
one vote in favor OF the routed monopo-
lists, could find no fault with him for
that act. But more than this The true
people of Virginia will never forget
what Randall did for them when Radi-
calism, rampant and run mad in the
House of Representatives, sought to
perpetrate nameless outrages upon
a defenceless and down-trodden peo-
PIE, and were thwarted in their
vengeful purposes by the stern opposi-
ton and mastery tactics OF this northern
| Democrat, who would now relieve Vir-
ginia of the burden of what Mr.. Jeffer-
son called "an internal tax" levied
upon domestic product, when the ne
cessities Of the war required it, and con-
tinued in time of peace, though we

A Fnll Senate.


The election of Democrat 10 the
United States Senate from New Jersey
reuders il reasonably certain that the
Senate OF the Fiftieth Congress will
consist OF 30 Republicans, including
Mr.. RpDLEBEBcRR, aud 81 Democrats ;
for although Mr. TURqm's title to his
seat is contested, yet even il he is de-
MED his seat under the election by the
Legislature, he viii get it by appoint
ment from the Governor. We are
inclined to think, however, that
Mr.. TURprE will be seated in
virtue OF the credentials which
he now holds. There must be more
than one Republican in the Senate who
win refuse to go behind the Great Seal
Of Indiana in the attempt to maintain
a Republican majority in that body.
Besides. the majority may soon be on
the other side of the chamber, and it
would be unpleasant to the Republicans
TO have to sit speechless and see the
Democrats refuse to seat Republican
senator in order to maintain Demo
cratic majority in the Senate.
We take it for granted that the Gov
ernor of Florida has not appointed a
United States senator to succeed Mr.
JONES, but has merely made up his
mind as to whom he will appoint as
soon as he can under the law. OF
course two Democrats from Florida are
included in the estimate when the Sen
ate is divided into 80 Republicans and
81 Democrats.

rapidly that it was impossible to put it
out. There was not very much wind !;

but were saved. Mr.. Cozart's loss is es-

All of the machinery was lost, some OF
which was very valuable. The build
